Directions: Take Highway 102 to Exit 13 in Truro. If you're coming from
Halifax or other communities south of Truro, turn right at the exit and keep

gas station on one side and a Tim Horton's on the other). Turn left and keep
driving until you see another set of lights. The Best Western Glengarry, 150
